Randomness Meme :-)

Profile Updated January 7, 2015. I am blessed with being a Mother, Homemaker and Homeschool Teacher. I own about 5.5 thousand books and our family has around 8 thousand! I am the founder of "Grandma's Rainbow"...a fledgling book giveaway program. I believe in life-long learning and can often be found glued to the screen in a MOOC course. I advocate for education reform. I am very interested in urban farming and self-sufficiency. Someday, I hope to make advancements in soil science and irrigation in terms of urban farming. Huge Douglas Adams and Roger Zelazny fan. Avid Armchair Traveler. I like roadtrips and the goal is for our children to see a good part of every state before they turn 18. I am a professional reader.I have extensive editing and writing experience. I hope that something made you smile today. ------Non-spammers can reach me at iamthebluestbutterfly AT yahoo.com

Randoms...

---I love when actors/actresses who play heroes openly support causes that will better the world.

---I am a fan of CVS. All those little extra sales bring smiles into our lives (free candy canes, a Barnes & Noble card for my Mother at Christmas and a three dollar credit for my birthday are the things I can think of on top of my head). Super nice cashiers and they don't mind at all that pretty much everyone in their lines is couponing, etc.

---So many beet salads look appetizing. I just can't stand beets.

---I believe in the Golden Rule and wish everyone else did. I do not like people that show no respect for others...especially when you have been only respectful and nice to them.

---I really, really enjoy listening to the birds chirping outside in the morning. I wish I knew more about how to identify the many birds that fly around our house. I inherited a bunch of books on birds...I guess it's time I start reading.

---I am afraid of acupuncture. The invent of laser acupuncture certainly did not make me any more at ease with ever trying it.

---I am a fan of the name "Sebastian." I have never met anyone who actually had this as a first name.

---I think it would be great if a lot more cities had tours by double decker bus. I saw a photo of a wedding that took place on the top of a double decker bus...the bride looked so happy and like she was having so much fun.

---I think baby dolphins are beautiful.

---I often capitalize words like "Mother and "Husband" for obvious reasons.

---One thing I love about "copycat recipes" is they usually don't include all the chemicals and preservatives of the original.

---I will never eat anything tartare. I will also not be eating carpacchio.

---Sometimes I really, really like macaroni and cheese from a box. Well I guess...not totally. Instead of the butter, I use a ton of shredded cheese.

---I wish that someone would start selling Kobe steaks at the grocery.

---I get annoyed by Twitter parties where people must be there only to win prizes and no one interacts with me.

---I have never been to a Jamba Juice. I found some copycat recipes that I would like to try...a lot of them call for pineapple sherbet which might be hard to find here.

---I do not like when hotels put the coffee machine in the bathroom.

---I am of the firm belief that some men should not wear suits....even when "required." It makes some men look way too stern.

---The only oysters I have ever tasted have been at Oriental buffets.

---I detest wasting my time on movies with no surprises.

---I am often interested in things made with huckleberries.

---I like finding flavors of candy cane that I haven't tried. Currently, I would really like to try huckleberry. I am not so sure about trying pickle-flavored candy canes. I have friends who would love to try pickle flavored candy canes and should gift them with some.

---Sometimes I feel that wars keep more people from dying. I wish alternatives were (peacefully) fought for. War is a sign of at least one irrational party.

---At least at home, I am really good at playing game shows like "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune."

We Liked It

-----Barbecue Chicken Pizza with a garlic crust. From Jet's.
-----Sauteed Fruits. Excellent with steak. Made me wish I had a glass of red wine.
-----Thinly sliced roast beef topped with a mixture of a large tablespoon of sour cream horse radish, a cup of sour cream and grated onion on a baguette.

I'd like to...

-----Go on a Autumn photography walk in Central Park.
-----See the flowers of a caper bush in person. Somewhere here in the States...maybe Hawaii.
-----Buy a good set of bells (for playing music). They could be expensive.
-----Visit Acadia National Park. See the Peregrines.
-----See the Titanic Memorial
-----Ride in a blimp.
-----Run the Walt Disney World Marathon.

Contacts!Contacts!Contacts!

Feel free to contact me if you would like me to do a review....100% honest opinion. They say 1 out of 10 people is a "promoter"...someone who talks to many people about their experiences. I definitely reach a LOT of people via my blog and several other Internet mediums. I am a big believer in word-of-mouth....it can make the world a better place.

I was here.
Did you love me?
Or bow to Fear?
My spirit roams past this stone.
Looks so like myself.
A monument.
They still stare.
Nails that kept others out.
Nails that trapped me in.
I ruled & roamed.
King of All Except Myself

Update:
The Shameless Lions have effectively disbanded but I still love to go back and read the work produced. I also like to talk to my friends and their lions.
